Swiss Fashion Designer: Sokhna Cissé

I was invited few weeks ago in a nice showroom of a Swiss / Senegal and Puerto Rican designer who presented her last collection in a small committee (very selective one). Her name is Sokhna Cissé (pronounced Sorna;) By the way she has no relationship with the footballer of the same name …) .It is funny because I met this stylist on Facebook, we chatted together, the chat went well and now I’m invited in this showroom organized by her and her childhood friend, Jennifer. She is a very gentle, cute and creative woman.

For the record, our stylist Sokhna graduated in 2005 from the HEAD (University of Art and Design in Geneva). The following year she won the 2nd prize in the fashion contest Podium Femina (very popular weekly women’s magazine in French-speaking area in Switzerland) in Montreux. Yeaaaahhh hehe Later, she enriched her professional experience in a trendy Swiss fashion company for four years. Then she decided to create her own brand ”UNDERCONSTRUCTION”. Now she works as an independent designer and as a part time teaching assistant in the HEAD

Originally from Senegal and Puerto Rican , Sokhna finds its inspiration from its origins but also in everyday life. Her universe is based on the modern woman life, women who are self-confident, strong and athletic. Each piece is manufactured in Switzerland with Swiss technical fabrics like the one used for scuba diving. We would think some discomfort when wearing it but the reality is quite different … In fact, it’s very comfortable and each piece celebrates the female body while giving her the freedom to express herself entirely.

The Showroom ?? oh yeah, I have to come back on it. Well, we were pampered with a nice presentation about the universe and the creations of Sokhna, without forgetting the fittings, the appetizers, delicious Swiss wines and gifts to the end of this pleasant evening.
